Emery was aware of the fact that Klea had been studying the Hexagram formation under the Eastern Sage's tutelage for a while. However, he was still surprised to see her spell.
The second layer of this particular spell was definitely a difficult unexplored territory, even for her, and when he learned that Klea was warned not to use it by the Sage, it planted a seed of worry in his heart.
"Why would she do that? She would not last a few minutes with the second stage!" said Julian again, his expression flustered as he questioned Klea's decision.
However, as soon as he articulated those words, his mouth was shut as a realization dawned upon him.
She was not alone in this foolish endeavor, as he had done something similar himself.
At this moment, the crowd's eyes were attracted upon the man on the stage as they all looked forward to witnessing how the famed Sword Saint would react.
